When an organization forces a mail client on it's employees, then the
shortsighted IT of that organization should take it upon themselves to
manage updates AND , as they should already, provide adequate firewalling
for the organization. Say for instance, local users shouldn't be able to
connect out of the corporate lan to initiate SMTP connections.

I can certainly understand how someone might open this particular trojan.
Yea, of course, because in most cases it's coming from someone you barely
know (if at all), because the sender address is forged from mail received
by someone else, where all of their contacts are not going to intersect
your own. And, as if anyone sends html mail in a ZIP.
I make no appologies that you have to be a MORON to open and launch an
attachment which you didn't request, regardless of the type. I routinely
ignore posts here on this list which people send as _attachments_ in
pgp/mime. It's one thing to inline sign your message, but quite another to
send it as an attachment.
